what’s new in the mizuno wave inspire 22?

Mizuno has focused on subtle but meaningful refinements to improve comfort and ride quality while maintaining the Inspire’s stable DNA:

  • Mizuno Enerzy NXT Cushioning – The midsole features nitrogen-infused Mizuno Enerzy NXT foam, delivering a softer, more responsive feel compared to earlier versions. It absorbs impact efficiently while still offering a springy toe-off, helping runs feel smooth and controlled from start to finish.
  • Wave Plate Stability – At the heart of the Inspire is Mizuno’s iconic Wave Plate, designed to disperse impact forces and provide inherent stability. It supports runners who tend to overpronate without feeling intrusive or overly corrective.
  • Smooth, Guided Transitions – The shoe’s geometry encourages a stable heel-to-toe roll, making it especially comfortable for steady pacing, longer runs and consistent weekly mileage.
  • Refined Upper Fit – The engineered mesh upper is breathable and supportive, offering a secure midfoot hold with a comfortable, accommodating forefoot making it ideal for longer sessions and everyday wear.
The Mizuno Wave Inspire 22 offers a refined ride that blends cushioning, structure and Mizuno’s distinctive Wave technology to support runners mile after mile.

Expect the Mizuno Wave Inspire 22 to deliver:

  • Moderate support and guidance
  • A structured, secure underfoot feel
  • A slightly firmer, more controlled ride rather than an ultra-soft or highly flexible feel

Fans of the Mizuno Inspire franchise will feel right at home transitioning from previous versions to the update. This new shoe maintains that familiar Inspire feel that remains consistent and durable while improving comfort and ride smoothness. And if you’re new to Mizuno, it’s an excellent introduction to their distinctive stability approach.
